654321... Dammit! No Day Weekend!!!

[waitingman]

So much for the one day off this week.

I had a call this morning at 8.45 from the Hobbit, telling me that the Monday supervisory shift "...has a few things to do before getting there, so could you go & open up 'til he arrives?". 15 minutes to shower, dress & get down to Hell work. Then wait around for Junior to arrive...

Then wait for "MD"/CN to arrive. And wait... wait... wait... wait...

4.15pm the @#&%!! finally, unapologetically turned up.

The silver lining ~ OBluV8 has a new battery & I'm independently mobile again. Also, I consoled myself with a couple of CD purchases... Herbie Hancock's Grammy winner ~ River, 'The Joni Letters', as the title suggests, an album of Joni Mitchell interpretations. So good, so far... & the latest album from Yasmin Levy ~ 'Mano Suave', a collection of traditional Ladino Jewish songs & original tunes.

Now, a quiet night in...

Good choices. Don't know the latter artist, but have heard Ladino, and approved.

What is so hard about saying "So when is my day in lieu"? Martyrdom is so unbecoming ;-P

Martyr? I'd sooner die...

I expect to be as well paid as the Retail Award allows for my sales & suffering!! Baby needs a new set of guitar strings...
